British High Court Judge Charles
Gray ruled without qualifier or compunction: "It appears
to be incontrovertible that Irving qualifies as a Holocaust
denier."

With that succinct declaration, he dismissed David
Irving's defamation lawsuit against American historian
Deborah Lipstadt. "For his own ideological reasons,"
Gray wrote, "[Irving] persistently and deliberately
misrepresented historical evidence." He also branded Irving
a racist, an anti-Semite and an associate of neo-Nazis.

Thus ended, last week, the latest high profile, public
battle between the forces of falsehood and evil against the
forces of truth and good.

Thankfully, truth and good triumphed. We must, however,
remain constantly vigilant that they always will.

fact: The stamina of the
defence team was aided by a six million dollar fund provided
by Stephen Spielberg, Edgar J Bronfman, and the American
Jewish Committee, which enabled them to pay 21 lawyers and
"experts"; the experts like Evans, Longerich were paid up to
£109,000 each to testify as they did (while the
defence's star legal team was paid considerably more).
Nobody was paying for Mr Irving, who has been fighting this
battle for three whole years. Nor did he pay his defence
witnesses one cent or sous: they testified from conviction,
not for reward. [Help!]
